Fight against the human consumption of cats and dogs in South Korea

In spite of a 1991 law that prohibits the human consumption of dogs and cats, a flourishing industry exists within the markets of South Korea.

Where do these dogs and cats come from?

Illegal and unsanitary dog farms are hidden away in the countryside where breeders raise their stock for butchers.  30% are stolen from families who love them.  The rest are homeless dogs, captured by butchers and then sold in open markets.  Dogs are electrocuted, strangled, or bludgeoned to death.  The dirty industry is proliferated by the myth that dog meat is healthy.

Justice for Grace, Dog Starved to Death by Owner

Tipton County, TN: In some parts of the country, animals are being abused, even to the point of death, yet officials who should be protecting these animals look the other way.  We do not want this to happen to any animal, including Grace, the Tipton County, TN dog that was chained to a tree for months without food or water.

Once discovered and taken from her owner, Grace was examined by a veterinarian. It was determined that along with suffering from long-term starvation, she was also dehydrated, had heartworms, hook worms, round worms and fleas.

Stop Ukraine From Burning Animals Alive

Ukraine and Poland won the bid to host the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship. Government officials knew that major preparations needed to be arranged in the Ukraine in order to accomodate the thousands of people that attend the tournanment every year, but citizens were not aware that part of the preparation would include slaughtering stray animals.

For years, animal activists in Ukraine have been protesting against the inhumane practices used to solve the stray animal problem. But their pleas have virtually gone unheard. And with the football tournamnent rapidly appraching, things have taken a turn for the worse.
